Depression And Anxiety - The Fibromyalgia Connection

By Brendon G. Burwell


The results of anxiety can manifest itself differently from person to person. Some people feel panicky and have trouble breathing, may pass out, and do not want to be in public places in case an attack comes on. Others become irritated and snappy and have a hard time controlling their emotions. Still others find themselves in a state of depression, unable to function correctly, becoming non-responsive to others, refusing to participate in real world activities, withdrawing into themselves and becoming self destructive by overeating, drinking or sleeping constantly.Fortunately, depression & anxiety medication can help to manage the symptoms associated with anxiety produced depression.

The truth, however, is that depression is a very real mental disorder that affects thousands of people; and if not for depression anxiety medication they would be unable to function in their day to day lives. There are quite a few choices for depression anxiety medication and all of them require a prescription from a doctor in order for any depression anxiety medication to be dispensed.

Fibromyalgia is a common condition in which a person suffers from chronic musculoskeletal pain. There are points called tender points, sometimes all over the body, and these tender and painful points are used as part of the diagnosis of FM. Individuals with FM may also be more susceptible to pain in general. Whenever the tender points are simply touched, they can send sharp pain impulses. Many Fibromyalgia sufferers experience pain all over and some experience pain only in specific regions. It can involve the muscles and the joints. Sometimes, there is so much pain that it is hard to pinpoint exactly where the pain originates. Fibromyalgia is often accompanied by other overlapping conditions such as chronic myofascial pain (CMP), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), restless legs syndrome (RLS), migraine & tension headaches, interstitial cystitis (IC), mitral valve prolapse (MVP), cognitive dysfunction, depression, anxiety and more. The symptoms of Fibromyalgia, alone, are wide-ranging and debilitating. Do they really think that depression and anxiety is the CAUSE for ALL of the above?

A person suffering from chronic depression should consider seeking professional help from a psychiatrist or psychologist as well. Often, speaking to a professional about how you feel and hearing them explain to you what part of your symptoms are common in depressed individuals will help you not to feel so alone.

Is this your life: You go to work and return at the end of a hectic day in time to prepare the meal for your family? After the meal you wash up and clean the kitchen then give the kids their nightly baths and help them with their take home assignments? Let's not forget the needs of the husband later that night.Then on Saturday you must stock up groceries for the coming week? Then church on Sunday? Look Tracy, you need to pause in-betwixt all of these somewhere and find time for yourself or you will soon get a good dose of depression and anxiety. Take a walk or draw a bubble bath, or listen to Whitney Houston's classics or Celine Dion - Beyonce just doesn't swing it eh? (wink).

Hormonal fluctuations is another biggie. For most women this occurs at least once a month, sometimes twice depending on their menstrual cycles or if they've just gone into menopause. Or if they feel they have just gotten that first wrinkle on their forehead or a number of issues really. Some of these may be physical due to the decreased hormonal production that going through menopause causes but mostly it is emotional. To counteract this, you should work on your mindset. Think of it like this; we are older at this stage of this article than we were when we both started reading/writing it (5 minutes ago!) Life goes on - prepare for the next stage of your life and stop clutching onto the past because it is just that...Past! That means that you can't do anything about it except worry right?

Anxiety and depression are among the most prevalent and highly treatable forms of mental disease in the whole world today. People who are suffering from acute anxiety display a varied degree of symptoms, which range from trembling, muscle aches, intense sweating, dizziness, extreme fatigue, jumping heart and dry mouth. But, anxiety disorder is much more serious than it is generally assumed to be, just because, people who are suffering from such a malady become practically disabled, both mentally and physiologically, making their life practically a living hell. Anxiety and its symptoms can be categorized into many types and one must realize that it is very common disorder, treatable by many modern treatment techniques.

Our final reason for depression and anxiety in women is actually your eating habits.Because you are "modern" you tend to eat a lot of junk food. Grab this here, bite that there and you tell yourself that you have to "eat on the move" because you live in a fast

Anxiety and depression outbreaks can occur at any age and time. Most of these patients are usually very stubborn and often never believe that they are affected by the illness. Advanced stages of anxiety and depression require frequent hospitalization and intensive medical care and supervision. Unattended depression can also lead to further serious medical complications like psychosis, schizophrenia and mental disorder. However, proper medical care and regular counseling will help patients to recover from the ordeals of anxiety and depression.
